Hi Everyone

If you are after an Outback then you get the new J-tech suspension.

 

[Siera]

Yes we are after OB. Did 14 models come with them at all.

Our 2014 Outback has the j-tech. What are the changes with the 2015 model?

 

[davemc]

depends on which model.. a lot of 2014 will have JTech already if OB.
The Fridge has been swapped so you can now get a legal annex.
from the 2015 models thread

Annex not really a worry for me. i am thinking I might be able to get more bang for buck if 14 model still available.

The weight saving may be good though as 15 models are heavier from what i am hearing.

 

[davemc]

if you find a 2014 with what you want at least you do not have to wait 3-4 months

 

[Siera]

the wait is probably a good thing it would give me time to save for some of my own extras. I will have to check out the suspension to see what is what.

2014 Outback models came standard with the Jtech suspension apart from a handful of the earlier models that were built (Ours included). They were built on some of the 2013 chassis' that were waiting for fitouts. Luckily we did get the solid axle and leaf spring version as apparently the Jtech suspension adds about 250kgs to the weight?

If worried about weight and you go down the 2015 model ask the question if solid axle/leaf spring option is still available.

I think the 14s look better thicker mattress more storage inside we noticed at the show they are very different ?????? look at both only you can decide
